Inter-Congregational Unity Sunday morning?
Spiritual Topics & Discussion Saturday, November 21st, 2009
Here is a photo I captured of one of the many bridges in Charleston, West Virginia. This shot made me think about building bridges of unity with other Christians. I’m highly encouraged about our workshop with the Kanawha City church of Christ. One reason is the fact that more than one congregation will be joining together for the Sunday morning worship. I have seen several regions where churches have “area wide” worship services on Sunday nights or other evenings. However, it is a rare example when a congregation will alter their regular Sunday morning service in order to assemble with others.
It’s much easier to gather with others when it doesn’t conflict with your largest gathering of the week. Do you think your church would be willing to meet with others, perhaps at a neutral location on a Sunday morning? Take the poll and leave a comment.

This is a very interesting question; in fact, I do not know if it could be extrange in the States; but here in Honduras every three or four month all the churches of Christ around main cities hava a “United Worship Service” maybe not all the congregations attend it, but it is so great because you can share a lot of experiences and also be with your brothers and sisters even if your church has a diferet way for leading singing or diferent songs.
I love anyone who loves my Lord – and recently enjoyed worshipping on the Lord’s day with a local hispanic congregation where we combined very different services into an offering of beauty to our God.
Jesus message is for all cultures – “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 – The details will be different, but the Spirit is the same and we are ONE.
